The roster

One operative per job.
They all report to you.

Five of them. Renewals, the diary, the money, the quotes, the phones. Each one reads your business, writes down what it intends to do, waits for your yes, then does it and tells you exactly what happened — including the bits that didn't go.

Start with one · one credit is one action · only successful actions are charged

Pick one. Read what it actually does.

Most owners start with one operative on the job they are furthest behind on, and add the next when the first has earned it.

Every operative is included on every paid plan. You pay for what they do, not for how many you switch on.

Cipher
Renewals and certificates

Nothing lapses quietly.

Cipher reads your job history and works out what runs out and when. It writes the reminder with the last service date and the price on it, offers slots an engineer can actually make, and quotes the customers who have no plan at all. The work that pays for itself every year, done before the certificate expires instead of after.

They hand work to each other

One missed call at 11:41 becomes a booking, a job sheet, a quote and an invoice. You approve the outcome, not four separate steps.

SwitchboardSTEP 1
Answers the call you missed

A landlord with no heating, worth a slot today

OnyxSTEP 2
Finds the real gap and books it

16:30, with the gate code on the job sheet

VanguardSTEP 3
Drafts the quote for his other two flats

Priced off your own landlord jobs, held for you

LedgerSTEP 4
Invoices the callout that evening

And chases it if it goes past your terms

One thread, one history. Whichever operative you ask, it can see what the others did and why — so you never have to repeat the story.

Every operative works the same way

Different jobs, same two rules. That is the whole reason you can hand real work over.

The gate

Nothing leaves the building without your yes

You approve the objective, not every message. The plan is written down in plain English before a single credit is spent, and if the plan is wrong you say so and it rewrites it.

Plan — needs your yes Approve
The report

It tells you what didn't work, too

If it says it sent 340, it sent 340. Anything that failed comes back with the name, the reason and the fix — and you are never charged for an action that did not happen.

291 of 294 done. 3 didn't go.
One had no email on the record. One mailbox bounced. One is on your do-not-contact list.

Start with the job you already know you're behind on.

Connect one system, name one job, and read the plan before you spend a credit. If the plan is wrong, you've lost five minutes.
